BOX 3-B - Injury Data

Each
transportation mode tends to define injury differently. In addition, each mode may generate its
injury data using different methods. Therefore, comparisons across modes should
be viewed very carefully. For further information on modal injury definitions,
see the glossary section of this report.

In
the following pages, another source of highway injury data-the National
Electronic Injury Surveillance System operated by the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission-—results in yet another set of highway injury data that
differs from modal data presented here.
